Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprits who killed Yonekura were Takeru Kouchi and Yoshito Mihara. Kouchi was killed by a bomb planted by Isato Yonekura and that was created by Katsuji Ishizawa, who originally planned to kill Suemura, Onda and Yonekura for bullying. He was the mastermind behind the bombings and planned to kill his four accomplices in the robbery from 10 years ago. The fifth member of the group, who was targeted by Yonekura, is in fact Ishizawa's brother Koichi Ishizawa. Fortunately, Kazuha manages to deactivate the last bomb with her hair clipper.
